Default *raises hand* my hd2600 graphics card made a huge difference in frame rate

I recently got the xcelaration pack, but I haven't had the time to play with it. Looking foreward to some carrier manouvers.

Default Wow! I remembered my account login info

The video card is very important. I haven't run my sim recently, but I highly recommend the CH yoke and rudder pedals. It is MUCH more like real flying.

P.S. I sold OldManTan. I'll be "CHili Red Mini Cooper Clubman S" soon.

Default I use

Default I am! But....

don't think <a href="http://www.simlabs.arc.nasa.gov/vms/vms.html">this thing</a> (60' vertical motion, 40' lateral motion) will fit in anyone's bedroom.

motion cockpit...

... that sits on top of a moving platform.

Fisheye camera looking down from top of the bldg, with platform all the way up...
